" I stumbled upon El Vaquero during a recent visit to Medford and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The birria tacos are a must-try; the meat was tender and full of flavor, and the tortillas were fresh. The staff were friendly, too, making the experience even better. I can't wait to go back and try their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience here. The food was alright; I found the rice and beans unremarkable. Although the tacos weren't bad, they didn't leave a lasting impression. The service was courteous, but the ambiance felt lacking. I might try it again someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered a selection of tacos for my family, and they were a hit! We loved the variety, and the flavors were genuine. The service was considerable, attentive to all our needs. Everything from the food to the atmosphere contributed to a perfect dinner evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Vaquero provides such a quaint vibe, with a friendly atmosphere that made my visit delightful. The chicken mole I tried was exceptional—perfectly balanced flavors, but the portion left me a little wanting. Still, the taste more than made up for it! I would recommend it if you are in the area.
